La Bene Vita

Thursday

Reach 300 students at MTMS   by 12/31/11:
We happily cleared 160, but did realize that we actually cleared 160 about a month ago. We've been processing all the enrollments as we received them, including those for May and June, showing an artificially low number of April students.The overall number is still helpful, because it reflects our sustainable business, and we make business decisions (such as when to hire a receptionist) based on that number.

Writing:
(1) Blog at MT.com   by the end of Wednesday: Pending.
(2) 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Not quite 30 minutes, but it was a start. I devised a plan - write a daily hook and mind map - and implemented it. I didn't do anything with the mind map, which is the next step. I'm thinking of imposing a daily plan that includes hook, mind map, write. It might be songwriting or flash fiction. At least I'll get back into the habit. I also have reviews and revisions on my list, but I'm not sure where to fit that in yet. As it is, I did the hook and mind map last night before bed, and I was tired, so I didn't have a lot of creativity. My writing time needs to be in the morning.
